Child’s Celestial Pepper — The plant begins to .«ct its peppers early in 
the season, branching freely, and bearing profusely. The fruit, up to 
the time they are fully grown, are of a delicate creamy-yellow colour, 
and when fully grown change to an intense vivid scarlet, making a 
plant when loaded with fruit, part of one colour and jiart of the other, 
an object of the most striking beauty and oddity. The peppers are 
from two to three inches long, of clear, sharp flavour, and superior for 
any of the uses to which a pepper can be put per pkt., Ud. and It.
